Ms. Mariani-May addressed traders on the floor of NASDAQ, the world’s largest exchange company, together with Ms. Allegrini and Giovanni Mantovani, president of VinItaly, the largest wine event in the world.

“Wine is food in Italy,” Ms. Mariani-May informed the traders, “but this ancient part of our culture is serious business and integral to our international trade.” She toasted fellow winemakers including Ms. Allegrini who are “breaking through traditional boundaries in vineyards and communications, charming the globe with value and quality.” She also thanked VinItaly for its efforts to communicate the quality of Italian wine around the world.

The presentation capped a productive day for Ms. Mariani-May, who started the morning on a press conference panel to open “Vino 2011,” a five-day conference dubbed “Italian Wine Week” in New York and organized by the Italian Trade Commission. Journalists and merchants from across the US gathered to discuss and discover various facets of Italian wine.
